Teeming Prisons A Problem In Texas And At Butner
The article compares Texas corrections with federal programs at Butner North Carolina. It notes Texas runs 22 000 prisoners with 1 to 8 staff, reports low homicide and escape counts and uses inmate labor for state work while paying nothing. It describes Butner as a humane, low violence campus like facility with no bars, few inmates, and a focus on voluntary self-improvement and gradual release. Authorities anticipate the Morris plan may cut recidivism and probationally reduce returns, with a study evaluating outcomes.
